I am catching up with Di for a quick meal in town before we go to the airport. The whole day has been a kind of waiting to get moving and I must say that I much rather prefer departures in the morning. Just get on with it...
The weather forecast for Hanoi has been typical tropical wet season, between 26 and 34 degrees, 26 being the "coldest" time at night, with thunderstorms and heavy rain. Very high humidity. Oh well, we will see.
Hotel Meracus in Hanoi's old quarter, where we are booked accommodation for the first 3 nights, has received absolutely raving reviews in Tripadvisor. In fact, I have never ever seen anything written up so much, 5 stars given by almost everybody (a scam, questions my bullshit filter...) Despite paying only $43 per night, I have high expectations of the place. Perhaps not such a good thing as reality then tends to disappoint...
After a delicious meal at Lee's, we jumped on the train and went to the airport. Everything went surprisingly smooth, so we were early to everywhere. They tested me for explosives, but drew nought...
Fast forward to KLIA... That's Kuala Lumpur International Airport, for the next update....
Local time is 4.15am (- 2 hours from Sydney) and the airport is pretty empty apart from people like ourselves, killing time, sleeping, before their next flight is due. Outdoor temperature is apparently 25 degrees Celsius. Looks all too familiar here, our 4th visit since 2004.
The plane landed early in Kuala Lumpur which wasn't really necessary as we had a long wait scheduled for here anyway. So, a final blog update for "today"... I also wanted to see whether there is access to Blogger and to Facebook here (was not in Guangzhou) and there is...
There is Di sort of sleeping in the background....
At 6.30am KL time, it was breakfast for champions. When in Malaysia, do at the Malays do.... Eat roti canai and drink coffee for breakfast...
